Barcelona trailed behind Real Madrid in the league and were knocked out by Valencia 3-4 in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League is arguably Rijkaard's last chance of the season.

Faced with the desperate situation of having to score, Rijkaard also had to gamble, although he knew the danger that the void after pressing out could bring, but Barcelona could not care so much at this time.

However, it is clear that Leon and Inter Milan have been prepared for Barcelona's wild attack, Barcelona bombarded the goal of the Inter Milan team for ten minutes without success, and the Inter Milan team retreated like a turtle with a shrunken head, and such a dense defense did not give Barcelona any chance.

Barcelona in the Rijkaard era focused on the control of the ball, emphasizing large-scale mobilization in attack, and deep penetration, especially in front of Ronaldinho's penalty area to attract defense or kick the wall to make a one-two, or diagonally pass on the other side of the Gyuli, this kind of attack was not uncommon in the game at that time. Deco can be said to be good both offensively and defensively, and he is basically the player who violates and is violated the most in every game, which complements the strength of the defense to a certain extent. Now, however, Ronaldinho has all but been deposed, Deco has moved to Inter Milan, and Rijkaard's two most relied on aces are gone.

In addition, Rijkaard's Barcelona team has always had two problems that have not been solved, one of which is to break the dense defense.

Breaking the dense defense is a worldwide problem, especially after Barcelona began to show their strong attacking ability, the La Liga team faced Barcelona, took the initiative to shrink, bilateral retreat, forming a local personnel advantage, resulting in excessive density in the half, once the midfield set up a strong beast waist, Barcelona more often had to pass back to the foot, unable to pass out the depth, lack of skills. At this time, Rijkaard's Barcelona's return pass was inverted, and it could not effectively consume the opponent's physical strength, because Barcelona's return pass was mostly a static inverted foot at that time, and it had not yet reached the level of Guardiola's Barcelona's passing.

Of course, in the face of the problem of breaking the dense defense, Rijkaard also has his methods and attempts, he has been pursuing high school forwards, from Maxi Lopez to Gud Johnson, Rijkaard's choice shows that he is helpless to break the secret, and has to pin his hopes on high school forwards.

At this time, Rijkaard repeated his old trick again, he replaced French star Thierry Henry with Gudjohnson, wanting to use Gudjohnson's wide vision and excellent passing ability to play an offensive effect, of course, the key is that Gudjohnson's header ability is stronger.

However, Rijkaard's change of tactics has not been able to achieve effective results, the Italian club is good at defending, and Leon's Inter Milan has been doing a good job in defending high-altitude balls, whether it is Samuel or Zivo, they can be fearless in the face of Gudjohnson.

***********

Li Ang sat firmly in the Diaoyutai area, and although his team was under siege by Barcelona, he was not worried at all.

He knows the Barcelona team very well.

Barcelona are not strong enough to break down dense defences, he knows it.

He also knows one thing, that is, there are also problems with the defense of this Barcelona team, especially for the opponent's defense counterattack can not be called excellent, when he was in Sporting Gijón, Li Ang's Sporting Gijón used to fight Barcelona with a bloody defensive counterattack 'high chao': Barcelona's defense did not form a whole, especially in air defense and anti-rapid counterattack. The so-called no whole, refers to the time after the frontcourt player loses the ball, although it is also actively pressing, but can always let the opponent find the passing point, the opponent is not entangled in the midfield, three feet and two passes to the front court to find the center, the center or sit too much to the fast striker, or directly behind the back. This is the reason why Barcelona have struggled to win against the yellow submarine Villarreal, Valencia and Atletico Madrid at this time, as well as Sporting Gijón at the time of Leon.

It had been nearly ten minutes since the goal of besieging Inter Milan, but it had been difficult to score, and just when Barcelona was becoming more and more impatient, the dagger behind Inter Milan's solid defensive wall suddenly stabbed out with a cold light.

Inter made a substitution, with youngster Toni Kroos coming off and Luka Modric, who had been out for two months through injury, coming on as a substitute.

When the Croatian Magic Flute came on the pitch, the fans in the stadium gave a round of applause to welcome the team's midfield brain.

Rijkaard was not particularly vigilant and attentive to Leon's substitution, and when the team was two goals ahead on aggregate, it was normal to replace players who had returned from injury to find a feeling, of course, this was more because Barcelona at this time only had one way to attack, and nothing else was taken care of.

At the start of the game, commentator Ferrari and Rossi talked about Modric's first entry into the squad after being sidelined for two months due to injury, and pointed out that Modric is now more about finding the feeling of the game as soon as possible.

Obviously, the commentators didn't think the Croatian would be able to make a spectacular performance on his return after a long absence.

Even Leon is the same, although when he sent Modric on the field, he told his love to sort out the team's attack in the future and strive to play a precise counterattack, but Leon did not have too many expectations for Modric's performance, as long as he could no longer get injured and slowly find his feelings.

Still, Modric amazed everyone!

***********

It was another fruitless attack from Barcelona, after Messi's successive passes, sending the ball to the wing, Andres Iniesta raised the ball to the box, Gudjohnsson's header was unable to top the power under Samuel's interference, and the football was firmly held by Cesar.

Cesar didn't kick off the ball this time, but rushed quickly to the front of the penalty area, and he threw the ball vigorously to attack, and it was clear that this change showed that the counterattack was purposeful.

Muntari receives the ball and passes it directly to Luka Modric!

While receiving the ball, Croatia's 'Magic Flute' observed the situation in front of him, he did not stop the ball, and directly kicked a wonderful long pass, a long pass to the side.

On the wing, Juan Mata cut in quickly, he stopped the ball beautifully, and then made a gesture to continue to dribble the ball, but instead of continuing to dribble forward, he pulled the ball horizontally, and at the same time took a look at the situation in front of him and chose to pass the ball directly diagonally to the front of the penalty area.

Adriano strode up with long legs, and by his side was Marcos, who hurried to keep up with the defense!

Mata surprisingly didn't pass a high ball this time, but a boccia ball.

This time it caught Barcelona off guard, and when Mata passed the ball just now, Marcos almost subconsciously wanted to jump and fight for the ball.

Thanks to the passing of the ball and the deliberate effort of Juan Mata to send the advance amount, the ball rolls quickly on the turf.

Adriano and Marcos pounced on the ball almost at the same time.

"Mata's pass!"

"Adriano and Marcos are chasing the ball!"

"Marcos! beautiful! He stuck to Adriano, successful defense!" shouted the Catalan commentator, in his opinion, Marcos followed Adriano, with Marcos's defensive ability, although it cannot be said that Adriano can be completely prevented, but, with Marcos's interference, Adriano is difficult to easily control the ball, and if Adriano wants to stop the ball and then seek a breakthrough or shoot, Abidal, who quickly returns to defense behind him, can already be in position.

However, no one thought that Adriano had no intention of controlling the ball at all!

As he was about to get close to the football, Adriano suddenly leaned back, lowered his center of gravity, and flew towards the football!

Adriano shovels!

***********

Marcos has been guarding against Adriano's possible burst after catching up with the football, and he really didn't expect Adriano to suddenly tackle at this time!

More than just a shovel!

It's still a rush shot!

Very suddenly!

And in front of the goal, Barcelona goalkeeper Valdés, who was originally going to attack, saw that Marcos had been following Adriano, he hesitated, and now retreated and did not attack!

However, then, seeing that Adriano was getting closer and closer to football, Valdés chose to attack again, and he wanted to block the angle of the shot and interfere with Adriano.

It's just that Valdés didn't expect that as soon as he rushed out of the goal, Adriano suddenly shoveled.

Adriano managed to tackle the football, which changed direction and flew straight towards the goal!

Valdés, who was halfway to the road, made a subconscious save, but the sudden rise of the soccer ball flew up, the ball passed in front of his fingertips, and then continued to move forward, one fell, after bouncing off the ground in front of the goal, and after continuing to bounce, it bounced towards the goal......

After Adriano made a tackle, Marcos also quickly threw his center of gravity, he slid on the turf, hoping to stop the football, but the Moscow defender who slid towards the goal finally kicked it into the air, and before he touched the football, the football had already jumped into the goal, and Marcos continued to slide into the goal due to inertia, watching the football that fell in the net continue to jump a little!

“Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal！”

"4:3!Adriano!3!hat-trick!hat-trick!Adriano scored a hat-trick in the Champions League semi-finals!!!

"Four to three! Inter Milan put the score ahead again! This goal was a huge blow for Barcelona, they needed to score three goals in a row with less than ten minutes left to turn the score around, which is almost impossible for God!"

At this moment, the entire Meazza Stadium was plunged into unprecedented revelry and excitement.
